Topographic Surveying

At SkyTech Imaging, we deliver drone topographic surveys that are fast, accurate, and highly detailed - helping land developers, planners, and engineers make confident decisions from the very beginning. Whether you’re assessing a site for design feasibility, infrastructure development, or environmental analysis, our aerial surveys provide the precision data you need - safely and efficiently.

Rapid Site Assessments

Our drone surveys provide an early-stage overview of terrain, contours, and surface features—ideal for identifying physical constraints and determining site suitability. We help planners and engineers make informed decisions before committing time or budget.

Elevation & Slope Analysis

We deliver accurate elevation models and slope maps, helping you understand water flow, cut-and-fill requirements, and potential grading issues. These insights are critical for drainage planning, zoning studies, and environmental assessments.

Cost & Risk Reduction

By spotting issues early—like uneven terrain, flood zones, or unsuitable gradients—you can reduce the risk of costly delays and avoid last-minute design changes. Our data supports smarter investment from the outset.

Benefits of Drones

For Topographic Surveying

High-Accuracy Mapping

Using RTK drones and ground control points, we capture centimetre-level elevation data that supports design accuracy and planning precision. This level of detail allows engineers and developers to base decisions on dependable information from the start - reducing rework and risk later in the project.

Faster, Safer Surveys

Drone-based topographic surveys are significantly faster than traditional ground methods, especially over large, difficult, or unsafe terrain. By reducing the time spent on-site and limiting the need for manual measurement, we help you gather accurate data quickly while keeping teams out of harm’s way.

Versatile Data

Our surveys support a wide range of applications, from site grading and flood risk analysis to planning drainage, road alignment, and earthworks. We deliver outputs in a variety of industry-standard file types, including .e57, .DWG, .DXF, .LAS, and georeferenced imagery, making the data easy to integrate into your existing workflows and valuable across every stage of your project.

Our Approach to

Topographic Surveying

At SkyTech Imaging, we combine technical precision with a practical, consultative approach to topographic surveying. Our goal is to make it easy for you to get accurate land data - whether you're planning, designing, or building.

​

We use RTK drone systems and photogrammetry to collect detailed aerial data, then process and deliver it in formats that fit straight into your existing CAD, GIS, or BIM tools.

​

From terrain modelling and contour mapping to elevation reports and 3D surfaces, our surveys are designed to be immediately useful - giving you clear, trustworthy visuals that help you design smarter and build with confidence.
